Inside God’s Mind

Written from the recollection of a sweet memory chasing a Colorado rainbow after an afternoon rainstorm with my Papa and Grandma Lowe. Precious — for such memories are few.

When I see a butterfly flutter

When I hear the buzzing of honey bees

When the wind moves through trees

Wafting the fragrance of sweet roses my way

***

I smile and stare up at the sky

Watching the clouds fly

I think of you under the sun shining bright

Filling me with unparalleled delight

***

Witnessing your majesty

Oh, what beauty!

Taking in all the sights

Taking my breath away

Making me want to stay

Here — inside a part of God’s mind

***

The leaves crunching underneath our feet 

So quiet — we can hear our hearts beat

As we smile and take our seat

At a bench by the river, our favorite spot

We go to sit and talk

***

I forget this world — for once

After an afternoon rainstorm

Because I see God

In the summer steam coming off the sidewalk

I see God in the rainbow

In the Rocky Mountains of Colorado
